Welcome to the Andrew Collings (Andrew Collins) and Richard Herrin (Richard Herring) podcasts in which we deliver our own sideways look at the news. Our fervent wish is to recreate our now legendary news reviews from Andrew's now-defunct BBC 6 Music show, except without the indie records interrupting us, and without the need to temper the content for fear of offending a Sunday afternoon radio audience.
In the relaunched podcast, which is very different to the others, we discuss theology, Nazism, Communism, homosexuality, transexualism, hypocrisy, the ageing process, the importance of context in the media and why Ian Blair should wear a tie, the idiot. (Alright, it's just like all the others)

Podcast 19Date: 27th June 2008 Length: 61 mins File size: 56.1mb In our nineteenth podcast, we ponder our big relaunch with a brainstorming session that unequivocally rules out the possibility of a Vernon Troyer-style sex tape scandal; we also say happy one-year anniversary to Gordon Brown, give one of the more popular political parties in Henley some marketing advice, discuss the sexism of The Sun's sports coverage and have a look in our wheelie bins for Iraqis. |
Podcast 18Date: 20th June 2008 Length: 55 mins File size: 25.3mb In our eighteenth podcast, we look closely at David Beckham's pants, discuss the sexism of Ascot coverage, come up with a recession-beating way of saving money on stamps in Taiwan, calculate where we both stand in the celebrity hierarchy by measuring the distance between Ant and Dec and the VIP area of a fashion show in Northampton, and roundly ignore the man who said Andrew sounds like Mr Bean, thus depriving him of the oxygen of publicity.
